My Best Kept Secret

Chapter Two

"Did you complete your project?"

Bethany's barely gotten through the door before Zachariah is there in the doorway of the living room, questioning her already. She can't stand this constant interrogation from him. He won't ever leave her alone and she doesn't know whether she can take much more of this.

"Yes, sir." She replies quietly, "I just have some finishing touches to put to it."

Zachariah nods in response and kisses his granddaughter on the head before he turns and makes his way back into the living room. Bethany finishes taking her coat and scarf of before she heads into the kitchen, where she finds her mother Lucy frying bacon in a pan, which she leaves as she begins to set the table.

"Hey, honey." She says softly, "How's Sam?"

"He's fine, thanks." Bethany replies, keeping her lying up very well.

"His parents?" Lucy asks, Bethany replying with the same answer, "His brother?"

The Adlers and the Winchesters are close friends, which makes Dean and Bethany's relationship all the more dangerous. The teenager sits at the kitchen table, watching Lucy go back to the bacon as she cuts the bread cakes up for their breakfast. Michael enters the room and sits by his daughter, kissing her head tenderly. He asks her the same questions as her mother just did and she replies with a hint of annoyance. The family shares small talk before Lucy reveals the plans for that night.

"Your uncle Castiel's coming to watch you tonight when we go out." She says, "We'd rather you have company and be safe, especially with it being October."

"What does the month have to do with anything?" Bethany asks, genuinely confused by her mother's statement.

"Well, there are teenagers starting Halloween pranks early, and we'd rather you be kept safe." Lucy explains, and Bethany understands her reasoning.

She's grateful that her mother cares so much, and that her mother is simply trying to look out for her. Bethany's more grateful that it's Castiel watching her rather than Uriel or Raphael. Castiel, Gabriel, and Jimmy are the only ones who know about Dean and Bethany's relationship and are all content to give the pair their blessing. She nods and looks up as Zachariah enters the kitchen, taking his place at the table while Bethany goes to help Lucy serve up.

"I'm very proud of you, Bethany. Your studies have greatly improved since...the incident." Zachariah says softly, "I hope to never find you in such a state again."

"Grandpa, it was just a party." Bethany replies. "I kissed a boy, it was only natural."

"You were...partaking in acts out of wedlock, Bethany." He scolds, Lucy stepping in quickly.

"Zachariah, surely we can't begrudge her a little kiss with a boy." She says, "All children must grow up at some point, and you didn't object when Michael and I kissed out of wedlock."

"You were separating on the day before the wedding, Lucy, I think that can be excused."

Bethany bites her lip and fights back tears, taking Zachariah's sandwich to him and bowing her head.

"The boy was leaving for Australia." She whispers, "We'd wanted to be together so badly that we thought one kiss wouldn't hurt. That's all."

"Bethany..." Lucy says softly, going to touch her daughter who runs from the room and upstairs, "Zachariah, we can't have this anymore."

"Lucy, there need to be rules." Zachariah replies, shocked by his daughter-in-law's outburst.

"Maybe, but not ones that suffocate my daughter!" Lucy yells, leaving the room to go after Bethany.

Dean pulls up outside his parents' home, smiling as his brother Sam comes down the porch steps to him. His smile fades when he sees the look on his brother's face.

"It's Beth..." He says softly, "She's in the kitchen."

"What's happened?" Dean asks, "Is she okay?"

Sam says nothing and just goes inside, Dean following him now incredibly concerned for Bethany. He kisses his mother and pats his father's shoulder, going to the kitchen where Bethany is sitting in tears. He doesn't understand how she can been upset so soon after getting home, and his heart breaks when she just rests her head in her arms and begins to shake with sobs.

"Baby?" He says softly, going towards her and sitting beside her, pulling her into his arms, "What's happened?"

She can't speak for crying, and while she feels like her throat's constricting, she feels soothed by Dean's embrace and begins to calm. The feeling of his arms around her makes everything feel better, and as she calms down, he whispers to her that he's there for her, that he isn't going anywhere.

"My grandpa made out to be the whore of the family again." She cries, "I just needed to see someone..."

Dean presses a kiss to her head and holds her closer to his body, rubbing her arm soothingly and rocking her to his body. He knows how hurt she is when her grandfather accuses her of things. When he makes her out to be something completely opposite to what she is. Beth's a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful, loving girl, and he wonders why her grandfather can't get past the one time she kissed someone.

"I'm right here. You want to go to mine for a while or stay here?" He asks, looking to Mary who smiles and nods at him.

"I just want to stay with you." She breathes, "I don't care where."

Dean just holds her and looks to his mother who points towards upstairs, and he stands with Bethany, leading her up to his old room while Mary begins to make them a drink. They sit on his bed together, and share a tender kiss as she tries her best to calm down. Gently he kneels in front of her and takes her shoes off for her, sitting back on the bed and lifting her into his lap. He gently rubs her legs which are clad in black tights and he holds her around the waist, running his warm hand up the back of her pink gypsy top to stroke soothing strokes up and down her back. He kisses her tenderly and looks into her eyes, giving her a gentle smile which she returns.

Mary knocks on the door and enters with two mugs, one of coffee for Dean and the other of hot chocolate with whipped cream on top and a chocolate flake in it for Bethany. Her favourite. Bethany thanks Mary quietly as Dean does, and Mary stops to kiss the two of them on the head before she leaves the room and leaves them to it.

"I love you." Bethany tells Dean, closing her eyes as he kisses her cheek.

"I love you." Dean replies, kissing her lips, not expecting the return of the kiss as she deepens it.

He takes the flake from her cup of chocolate and wipes whipped cream on her nose before feeding her the flake and kissing the whipped cream from her nose. Mary's even left a spoon for her to eat the cream with and she happily tucks in, while Dean is finally so relieved to see that ever beautiful smile.
